Thanks to the awesome guys over at Media Molecule, we've got an update worth celebrating about! New search modes, a new in-game store, image export, and more are all now at your fingertips. Just pop on LittleBigPlanet and download the required update (1.07). This should really improve our experience with sharing in LittleBigPlanet!

Play
New Search Modes: More ways to find interesting levels like Most Hearted, Highest Rated and Busiest!
In-Game Store: Browse, buy and play downloadable content, such as the soon-to-be-released Metal Gear Solid packs, without needing to go to the Playstation Store

Create
Save As: Save your level to a different slot on the moon while mid-edit.

Share
Keyboard Text Chat: Plug a standard USB keyboard into your PS3 and just start typing. Or, press Tab on your keyboard to go straight to the standard PS3 text entry screen.
Image Export: save the photos you take in game to your hard drive.


General fixes, polishing and improvements, including:


Fixed ?Wheel of death? bug where Sackboy could get stuck endlessly respawning out of a checkpoint
Better support for third party controllers
Fixed stretch Sackboy arms
General server improvements and optimization
Improved the corner (vertex) editing tool
Improvements to how Popit deals with complex shapes
Improved Sackboy animation and made it harder to slap accidentally while acting
Fixed lights so they don't forget their colour
If anything I can say this cab is rare
Improved Online multiplayer level selection
And I yelled to the cabbie ?Yo homes smell ya later?
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

Why did they Bel Air us?

Because that's how awesome they are lol, this is definitely not your average game company. Definitely a cool team if you are allowed to sneak some Bel Air lyrics into official announcements :hero:

EDIT:

"Save As: Save your level to a different slot on the moon while mid-edit." <- That by the way is great. I was just thinking yesterday how useful that would be. Now if we can get a Ctrl + Left Mouse Click thing going... That's my next hope I know, I like the little things

EDIT 2:

Ugh... You knew there was going to be at least one glitch caused by all this restructuring... Thankfully it's a small one, but very disapointing for my Christmas Level (ARG! And I just realised my HAWK Lair as well ) So here's the deal: Sickers no longer appear on Score and Prize Bubbles. I know it's noting major, but I'm not the only one who's used this to make the bubbles look neat, and I just checked and even bubbles in already published levels have become the usual blank bubble canvases they used to be Just saying it would be nice for Mm to fix this at least with the next update! I had a beautiful candy green Christmas Gift prize bubble planed for my level and now it honestly looks shabby without the colour

I've fallen in love with these updates. My favourite part of it is the change from 'cool levels' to 'community'.2008-12-19 20:18:00

Now this is a story, all about Sackboys........
Man I love MM
And I love the new updates
They really are sticking to their promise of keeping this game updated and FRESH (excuse the pun ) Actually that's what they might of subliminally being trying to get at

Metal gear solid pack + this = PURE WIN

Keep it up MM - I LOVE YA:blush:

I have noticed a couple more things that the update included.

- Sound effects added for elastic stretching, and pistons moving, and winches winching (or maybe I never noticed these before, can someone confirm?)

- Proximity switches now have an "all present" option in the tweak menu, so they will not activate unless all players are present.

- BUG - when using popit to drag a square around things and select multiple objects, if u select something that is bolted onto something not in the selection, it will unbolt the object you selected and move it with the rest of your selection - so be careful when using this near complicated contraptions!

Great update though despite the bug!

I guess a few bugs were to be expected, but the fixes LARGELY outnumber the 2 bugs mentioned so far (thankfully ). That ALL PRESENT tweak is great news, probably would not have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it, thanks!

not a second too soon with this update i must say. i know im not active too much here, but have been dssapointed in lbp lately due to their search functions and also being out of ideas for levels. BUT this new update changes my feelings, as well as today i got inspiration for my new level!2008-12-19 21:08:00

FINALLY. The search function works better. My only gripe is that it's not automatic. When you pull up the community levels (renamed since when?) it should show up and ask what you want to search for, with the added option of 'random'.

But finally got around to playing the great levels people are making.

Faith restored, goty again for me.

You could always make a little circular wafer thin material and glue it on to the front. It's not as nice, but it would work!

What! cow glitch is broken?!?! oh no! I used that glitch in Surf's up.... do you know if it affects levels that already have it, or does it just mean u can't create any more cow glitched materials?

Wow, I thought that news page I saw with patch 1.07 was a typo since 1.06 came out recently. The new search is very welcome. Great update (and lol @ bel air theme!)2008-12-20 00:13:00

i noticed this too the sticker is still on the bubble, as you can tell by using the sticker edit tool and take it back off but it just doesnt show up. I hope the put this back to how it was and was not done intentionally

For people who still haven't downloaded the patch yet, this search engine makes finding good levels 100X easier and makes playing levels actually enjoyable instead of a hassle trying to find them.2008-12-20 17:47:00

It's possible they were working on both simultaneously, didn't know if they'd be done at the same time, and put them out as soon as they were ready.

Why does the it export images at 320x180? That's way too low res.
But at least I can finally use my Sackboy as my avatar.

Uploaded some pictures I exported:
